Advances in Virus Research - Research Advances in Rabies

Informationen zum Autor Dr. Alan Jackson is Professor of Medicine (Neurology) at University of Manitoba in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He graduated from Queen’s University with BA and MD degrees. He completed an internship in internal medicine at University of Southern California, residencies in internal medicine at Queen’s University and in neurology at the University of Western Ontario, and a fellowship in neurovirology at The Johns Hopkins University with Drs. Richard Johnson and Diane Griffin. Dr. Jackson was active in basic rabies research for over 30 years. Klappentext Volume 79 of "Advances in Virus Research"" "focuses on developments surrounding rabies, an ancient disease that remains a promiment public health problem for humans. This volume highlights important research advances extending from our understanding of how rabies virus replicates and assembles to how the disease can be prevented and treated in humans and how rabies can be controlled in wildlife hosts. Experts in the fields provide insightful and up-to-date chapters that summarize our current state of knowledge in diverse aspects of this very interesting and important viral disease. * Contributions from leading authorities * Informs and updates on all the latest developments in the field Zusammenfassung Focuses on developments surrounding rabies! an ancient disease that remains a prominent public health problem for humans. This title highlights important research advances extending from our understanding of how rabies virus replicates and assembles to how the disease can be prevented and treated in humans.
